The Selectboard heard from Ryan Silvestri of New England Municipal Consultants, who acknowledged an error in the property tax assessments that had incorrectly classified three parcels as R5 rather than R6, producing lower assessed values. Silvestri apologized on the record and said corrections will be made for the 2026 Grand List; the town will send a memo to affected property owners explaining the change.
